Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Clem, we are sponsored by just everyone now. Look at that, in the beginning it took me a while to say it all. Sponsored by Barstool Sports, 3G, Cuts Clothing, I mean, the basement is growing up. We're slapping logos everywhere in the basement right now. I couldn't be more proud. I want this thing to look like a hockey rink by the time it's all said and done just nothing but ads everywhere you look yeah like on the back of our door leading up it should look like uh every green room i've ever been in and a concert venue has like stickers of the bands that have played there it should just

be a bunch of sponsors that have sponsored the pod i absolutely love it we'll talk about the sponsors in a bit but uh you've had an eventful week you've had an eventful uh couple days do we want to get into it do we want to bring up the scars i mean you might might as well pick them uh before they it scars over and they're not even healed yet so you might as well pick them like you know you could still get a scab and you don't have to worry about too much blood coming out. And they're still pretty fresh. So I think I'll be all right. Cause you, you asked me, you said, Hey Clem, you're ready to rock. And it was eight o'clock on Sunday. I was like, huh? Um, how do we want to say this? Cause it's been, it's been a doozy of a, of a, of a seven

days, basically about a week. And yeah, um, I went through one, I went through one. Uh, we had Monday, we had wifey. I was recording Podfathers with Large, just trying to get it out of the way Monday night for a Wednesday release. About halfway through, through our second ad read, no big deal, Sienna comes downstairs and when she's bothering me during a podcast,

I know she's either really needs to go on and she has to tell me something or if there's like something important, and he's like, mommy got stung by a bee and she says she's starting to swell up and she needs you to drive her to the hospital so that is how the week started robbie brutal yeah you never want to hear that that's just a horrible string of words together yeah and and the thing is we didn't even know she was allergic so it was kind of like uh you know if you're allergic to bees like right you know we have to go into the

bee allergy mode no this was like oh you're allergic to bees well surprise shit yeah right the way you want to find out nope nope not at all right to the hospital center in the er uh little twist we forgot our masks so we had like an emergency one just happened to lay in the car all right i texted you know i'm like well i'll let me know when i can go in turns out you can't go in there's no buddy system in the ER right now during COVID-19, which kind of makes sense, obviously. I guess if like, you know, sure, like arm got chopped off, I probably could have went in with her. But, you know, bee sting, allergy, nope, just a one-man job.

So then I get banished back home with the kids who my mom was watching. My wife asked me to still take them to tumbling. AJ's a goddamn nightmare. He a goddamn nightmare part of it and it was this whole like two hours worth of chaos my wife is in the hospital uh text me he's like hey not so bad here like i wish i wasn't like you know loaded up with benadryl and epipen but she's like it was kind of felt like a little spa day and i'm here running around after the kids and then lost power Tuesday didn't get it back until Friday night so all that time I don't understand that like how does how does

power go out for four days and you know all right we're not going to get it back for until Friday night when it's Tuesday I've never heard of that in my life till this week you till you said it see this is the thing is like this is a little bit normal for me because I'm in like the sticks and I'm not like you know five hours from the city i'm like an hour or so drive from new york but we have some tall ass trees here if you've ever been to like northern westchester i'm in putnam which is right north of westchester we got some old ass trees some big ass trees it's the fucking and after that tropical storm what's her name i hate that bitch isaiah's i have no idea i didn't even know the name of this one it didn't really hit the city that bad oh so you weren't in jersey for all this i thought no i was here yeah no like

my mom i think her power went out i know my sister's power went out they had like a slumber party they were sending me pictures and stuff but it didn't affect us at all really yeah so outside my window on what was that wed Wednesday morning it looked like the fucking forest moon of endor outside there was fucking trees everywhere dead Ewoks stormtrooper helmets end up in my backyard it was a goddamn nightmare um and along with that no power and the thing is like I could get whatever like it's not that bad after a day or so I need to shower I'm one of those guys who isn't like completely doesn't feel normal until I take that morning shower you know what I mean so there was like a day or so of no

that but of no shower but like trying to explain to a five-year-old and a two-year-old that bubble guppies cannot come on tv right now because we don't have power and um you can't even like throw it on like the the phones or something because everyone was on their phones because no one had wi-fi so the cell towers were getting hammered um i imagine you've been in this scenario before where you want to work but you can't work for some reason yeah and you're just like the you know the blog is just you know you're not getting your stuff up it's not as bad now because we have so many people but even then it's like you just have that anxiety of getting stuff up especially if something on your beat breaks and then god forbid like portnoy goes on you know

happens to that's the day where he just unloads on people you're like i don't want to get my goal at barstool to stay off dave portnoy's radar i've said it many times before that is the goal not doing your job is one easy way to get on his radar so i'm here i tried to record pod pod there's three different times with large using my phone as a hot spot oh my god trying to use zoom through like i had like 3g wireless at some point we're trying to do it it just was an outright nightmare using my phone as a hotspot. Oh my God. Trying to use Zoom through like, I had like 3G wireless at some point. We're trying to do it. It just was an outright nightmare.

At night I could do my, we got to believes with Kevin after the Mets games, which was like more torture because the Mets are the Mets. Long story short. And people say, why don't you have a generator? Well, first of all, I am a goddamn father too with a mortgage. I'm a smut blogger.

I don't exactly have money to be thrown. I'm not large over here. I can't just buy a generator. And like, you know, this happens like for like once, it does happen like once a year and it seems, but usually I can go to the library and do this. This was obviously this came out of nowhere. I don't even know the bitch's name that did this. So it was a long week. It's Sunday night.

Finally, I'm in the basement happy and then robbie i don't know if you know this i i don't i think i tweeted something about it i'm going on vacation tomorrow like a three-day vacation with the people i've been quarantined with for five months and blacked out with for five days so there's no vacation when you've just been locked together and now we're going to the shore we're going to long beach island which i'm always open for any kind of tips for anyone from lbi or who goes there ship bottom is where we're going um and i'm but the thing is like i was actually going to unplug i haven't really had like even like a mini vacation like this where i just unplugged since basically i started working for barstool five years ago now

i have two kids my wife is pretty close to kicking my ass these days and i'm not gonna be able to relax now i'm gonna have to just keep grinding getting all that shit done so it's it's been a doozy of a week so I'm happy to be in the basement I'm happy to to just unwind if there was only some sort of you know substance or magical elixir that could help me with these kind of moments I'd love to hear about them Rob oh Clem it's so funny you say that because my week has been pretty much the polar opposite of your week. Your week has been hectic. Your week has been anxiety-induced. No, no, no. Bob, listen to what I had to do.

I had to empty my entire refrigerator and freezer and send it to the local grocery store who were nice enough to take our shit in. And then I had to pick it up and load it back in my fridge five days later as I'm worrying about spoiled milk and shit. I'm getting a two-year-old. That's kind of nice. I didn't know that grocery stores did that, though. They could take your stuff and keep it for you.

Shout out to Chico and Sons. They took care of the community. It's like that's an Uncle Rico thing. I feel like he – I think Rico Bosco. Take care of the community. I feel like that's one of his slogans or something. Oh, absolutely. Shout out to Chico and Sons.

But listen, I've been sitting on my couch all week just hitting the 3C. 3C all week. The edibles, the tinctures, the vapes, all of it. What is 3C you want to know? Well, if you don't know, you haven't been listening to the podcast because they are the presenting sponsor. They are the ones keeping the lights on here. They are the leader in hemp-derived cannabinoid products.

And they're formulated by a biochemist, which I love saying. It makes it sound like Bruce Banner's in there with the test tubes growing this shit. They're all grown in the USA, USA grown hemp, and it's THC. So people ask me this all the time. They say, Am I going to get a high from this? Am I going to fail a drug test because of this? Yes, this is absolutely THC and it will make you fail a drug test. You got to be 21 or older purchase. But it's awesome TH THC. It's Delta-8. It's derived from hemp. It's a cousin strain of Delta-9, which you find in marijuana. If you look online, people will say it gets you two-thirds as high as weed. I'm a pretty big weed guy myself, and I can say the effects are pretty similar. The goal with this is that it gives you all the same effects as weed and the Delta nine THC, but it removes a little bit of the anxiety, a little bit

of the paranoia. It's great stuff. It gives you a smoother high, just as smooth. I'm going to chill on the couch, put on some family guy high. Who doesn't love that? I mean, unwind and after a long day, a little three Chi, this stuff is my favorite stuff in the world. I promise it works. I get people in my DMS and tweeting me that uh have tried it and they're like oh my god i don't know how that stuff is legal thank you for recommending it so if you go to threechi.com right now that's the number three chi.com you shop for all this stuff and if you use the promo code basement at checkout you will receive five percent off your order you must be 21 or older to purchase clem have you uh dove in yet i know that they sent you some stuff bob this is the god's honest truth

my wife on monday morning we said she said all right three chi let's like take some time and i she goes we got to do it we put the kids to bed and she goes let's just have some fun that was her exact line to me let's have some fun we had the gummies and we have uh the tinctures she goes let's go have some fun we had the gummies five gummies and then entire hell broke loose for an entire week straight so that that monday was supposed to be our day she was then on meds with all the the beast and stuff what was hurting and then we didn't have power i can't i need to be in my happy place to go to my yeah no you definitely do but you know what i think all the chaos is going to make the eventual payoff of the 3g the let's have a fun night oh my god that's

going to make it like way better we got we got ourselves a little uh ocean view room for down in lbi i think kids go to bed throw in the three chi and then we just sit just watch the ocean and just you know kind of gather our thoughts from the last five years of chaos the last two and a half years of chaos and the last week of chaos three chi and i i i said this um i said this to you after the last podcast you were talking about the three chi and i and i said bob i don't know like what exactly is this like um uh what's the other stuff the the uh the CBD CBD I was like it's like a CBD it's like no this is something completely different this is kind of like you said it gives you a little bit of like the the

weed kind of buzz and like you say they invented the industry I'm like so 3G and I go Bob like off the record honest is this the good stuff you And you're like, yes, this is the good stuff. And you're now basically at the fucking face of it. I see you on Barstool Sports, that beautiful mug, and I'm like, Bob Fox is in bed with it. That's cool with me. So we are going to 3Chi our faces off down in LBI this week. I love it.

And it's like you tried to do the 3Chi and you couldn't. It's your new Avengers assemble. You know, when you eventually get it, it new avengers assemble you know when you eventually get it like assemble boom um we do have some news to talk about uh avengers related and nerd related before we get into some i guess three chi related pitches i have for you but uh you know not a ton has happened since we last got together we could start with the avengers thing the avengers video game that is coming out that we discussed months and months ago when the trailer initially dropped and we were kind of lukewarm on it is getting not great reviews it's getting lukewarm reviews the beta is out and

people are not loving it uh you sent me a review before that was comparing it to episode one immediately like star wars episode one they said i feel like the robots are the same as the the Roger Roger droids. You never want to get that comparison in the first paragraph of your review. It's not necessarily super surprising, but it definitely is disappointing because an Avengers video game that you could play co-op with your pals and each superhero has their actual abilities, that sounds like the most fun thing in the world. So kind of disappointing, but I'm still holding out a little bit of hope that they'll be able to improve it. Because look at a game like Star Wars Battlefront 2, the remake, the EA version, took a couple months of DLC until that, and like updates and free DLC

until that became very playable in people's eyes. So who knows? I'm still hoping for the best. Yeah, I think we were talking about this in the office the other day when we were doing radio with large and we were saying how like just they should have just splurged got the rights to downy and chris evans like they had to know even because i know this has been going built being made for a while now but they had to know after the first avengers that they had a beast on their hands i don't even know if they could have imagined the way Infinity War and Endgame blew up in such a good way if it if it reached the level it would but nonetheless like fuck go back and just like fix all this shit get it right because I my daughter I told you right before we came on we were playing Animal

Crossing she's obsessed with video she's obsessed with Marvel and I can only imagine people that are a little older than her or even just getting into it you need to make these games right because it's like old farts like me people in the prime of their lives like you and then the next generation like her don't just like piss away what you guys have been doing get feige in there i kevin feige you know what he is he's the goddamn meme where it's like something bad about marvel's leaking out and he just slapped kevin and it fixes it i don't know how he does it but that's how it works in my mind i don't care if you just hire him and then he hires the right people just throw just stick literally stick

kevin feige on the fucking like uh computer that is holding this game together and then be like all right now fix this thing kevin through osmosis through whatever has to happen because this game needs to be fucking like we're not going to get any Avengers for god knows how long we have to get like probably like another eight movies of like just singular heroes before the next Avengers is even like you know put together as a team so um god damn it get it right get it figure it out guys and this is the thing like Disney Disney now has like such a higher bar to clear where I feel like the next the James Gunn Suicide Squad if it's just passable, I'll be like, Oh, all right. Like they're, they're on the right track here.

Marvel needs to basically hit like 80% of end game every time out for it to be like a worth it, you know, for the big, at least the big releases. I do like your point that just slap Kevin Feige on there. Like imagine if in the trailer it said like, and story by Marcus and McFeely who wrote Infinity War and Endgame, like something like that, that just tells us, oh shit, they're related in some way. The MCU guys are like, just do that.

It's the same way that they were like when Man of Steel came out, they were like executive producer, Christopher Nolan. He didn't do shit on that movie, but clearly we were all like, oh my God, the Dark Knight just came out. Now they're doing Superman. It's gritty. It's realistic. This is going to be amazing. And I don't hate that movie. I'm not trying to throw a ricochet shots at man of steel, but it's very similar in my eyes. A game that's getting some good reviews on the flip side is star Wars

squadrons, which comes out October 2nd. It is the kind of a dog fighting focused star Wars game. I don't know if they're going to have a campaign mode. I think they will have at least a short one, but it's going to be a lot of multiplayer stuff. It's going to be a lot of we're in space. We're doing the massive Star Wars battles we always dreamed about. I have been playing Jedi Fallen Order on Twitch.

I've been doing a ton of streams, and people in my chat all the time say we better get some Robbie and Clem Star Wars Squadron streams when that comes out. Put you in one of those black TIE fighter helmets. Put me in my rebel helmet and we'll just go to town on virtual reality dog fighting. You know what? I can't even lie because I think I've always skewed a little towards the evil side in terms of this podcast because obviously Thanos was my guy. And you are so team like Captain America I'm not gonna say the cornball word he is just so like he's like what is that that chart he's like good good what's like the you know the yeah yeah yeah it's like neutral good right it's like good good like yeah he's like pure pure good

is captain I'm more of literally wield the hammer you know he's gonna be pure good like yeah he's like pure pure good is captain and i'm more of literally wield the hammer you know he's gonna be pure good that's that's exactly and you are so like i kind of will be like you know like darth vader is a fucking cool ass villain and i mean you obviously appreciate the finer the finer parts of star wars but i i kind of like the little grittier side of that as well where you literally have a rebellion helmet the rebel helmet in your fucking house so i i'll get down for some tie fighter stuff and and uh i know ken jack is is into was into at least x-wing versus tie fighter so it makes me happy to hear that's going good you got the other streams going on so um any like i feel like star wars especially ea star wars but anything star wars these days you know you're not getting like the complete unadulterated love I think the movie franchise has and obviously the video game franchise

have been so uneven that I think they're not going to just get like oh this is going to be awesome this is going to be great yeah so I'm happy to hear that that this is coming out like I have uh what's the word I'm looking for. I have good expectations, but I'm a little guarded, but, but definitely like I'm excited for a lot. Yeah. Crimson skies was one of my favorite, like original Xbox games. It was just focused on like a airplane fighting and like the grand Canyon. It was kind of an old timey type thing where people would wear the leather Snoopy helmets and stuff. If it's anything like that,

I think it's going to be a lot of fun to play online. Another thing we can move on to, just kind of dancing on some misfortune of our pal James Cameron. Avatar 2 has been delayed yet again. It is now scheduled to come out in 2022. I believe it was the seventh time it was delayed. I know the Lights Camera Barstool guys had the entire like chart of the original release date was 2014 five years after the original movie came out and now we are on to 2022 for avatar 2 and i think avatar 5 is still you know half filmed and slated to come out

as we speak what a fucking mess that is that's just a quagmire of movies just like is this scene in avatar four or two no no that's for five that's for five make sure you put the avatar three scenes in that pile and the avatar five scenes in that pile like what the fuck you doing jimmy if jimmy has a fucking brain he'll go quentin tarantino on this shit and just like release five before two just fuck everything up, like Pulp Fiction. And you don't know, you have to kind of piece together the timeline in your head or maybe just mash the movies together. And just,

so you're just kind of going back and forth. The machete order. It's the avatar machete order. Avatar machete order. Exactly. I don't know if James Cameron, I understand COVID and all that stuff. I feel like he's just dragging his feet because he needs the next technological breakthrough. Cause you can't just release this shit in 3D, HD again, or even 4K at this point. You're like, all right, now look at Avatar in 4K, HD, 3D. You need to come with like, and I don't think, what's the movie we went to? That was 4D,

the one where they kind of jar you in your seats and stuff like that? 4DX or something, yeah. Yeah, it's kind of like if you go to a Disney ride, you can smell it, you get hit by the, you know, the dog sneezes, it hits you in the face. Shout out to the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids thing. I feel like he's just waiting for the technology to catch up with. Because it's like the movies are not the star of the show, obviously.

No. Because the first movie, I can't tell you one thing about. I saw it twice in like the first probably week it was released because it was obviously such a technological marvel. And I couldn't tell you one thing about it. I saw it twice in like the first probably week it was released because it was obviously such a technological marvel and I couldn't tell you a thing. Jimmy, listen, Pocahontas 2 came out back in 1995. Just copy that because you copy Pocahontas with the first one. Just do Pocahontas 2, Journey to the New World or whatever. You don't need to come up with the story and then three, four, and five. I don't know. This is the best of thing, man. James Cameron, like if this podcast starts 10 years ago,

he's like a hero of the podcast those entire times. It's just, he picked a fight with the wrong, like literally the worst movie he could have picked a fight with. And the word, like, this is not the right time for him to get those fighting words, but you know what? We're going to dance on graves. So here we are dancing on James Cameron's graves right now.

Here we are. Fuck them. Something, something that, uh, something that Disney is doing that I think could, could be great for us. I would have loved if your mom was, if you were at the house,

your mom's house, she's like, Rob, you tell Rob's back in his apartment. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Trent's fine with it.

Something that Disney Plus is doing that I think could be great for us Marvel fanboys, if it goes well, is that they announced they're going to be releasing Mulan for $30 as like a one-time buy thing. So it'll show up on Disney Plus for $30. You could buy it and then you'll have it forever. On the same day, they're releasing it in theaters, which I think is like in Septemberember or october it's soon and when i say theaters i think it's like 12 theaters across the country like the 12 that are open weirdly but this is many people are

saying could it be a test for black widow or could it be them dipping their toes in the waters and saying hey if this performs really well like that that trolls movie did, I know trolls, you know, did crazy money for dreamworks or whatever that studio is. I think it's dreamworks. Yeah. Could, could we release black widow this way before the Disney plus Marvel shows come out? And could it be a success? I think it would be, I think, I don't know anyone that is a fan of the Marvel cinematic universe that wouldn't pay $30 for a movie,

especially when you consider if you live in the city, you're paying $30 for an IMAX ticket. Like they're $27 to get in the door. And then you got your snacks, your sodas, your Funko Pops if you want to buy those. You know, some of us do the collectible popcorn tin, all that kind of stuff. I'd pay $30 right at the gate. So I'm hoping this goes well. I might buy Mulan, which I'm not even that interested interested in just to like show my support towards what they're doing you know what i mean i was playing the big picture right now i appreciate that's like when we were

just buying tickets to endgame just to fuck james cameron over we're going we're thinking next picture next level here um no i'm with you on that i i think we talked about the mulan um live action on here you know months ago before all this stuff went down and i was like ah like whatever i didn't i didn't watch the original you know that was kind of you just like we did kind of age out you age out of disney have a blind spot for it before like i mean i've always fucked with like toy story movies but you do like a it's like with wrestling too sometimes you grow out of it and you go back to it i was i was not in in disney during the mulan stuff mulan hercules there's a whole like the the uh notre dame one the hunchback there's a whole bunch of disney movies i've never

seen before and now i'm like back in with moana ride or die for moana they need to get a moana live action sorry i'm just i'm just trying to thought right here i just we watched moana the other day it was so delightful i did never seen it before and we are now rocking to your boy lynn manuel in the in the car non-stop but milana but mulan going live this is i could never have imagined how this could impact like my fandom but if black widow then goes live i think it's not all right so obviously the that phase is over with marvel spider-man homecoming no far from home ended it so it's like you're not even i guess you're kicking off a new phase is this the first of the next phase i believe it would be yeah okay so i guess you may not want to have your lead-off hitter just be released directly to home but guess what unless you're gonna like fucking delay this thing for like 2021 that's probably gonna happen

i mean college football may not be coming back right so it's like at some point unless you're gonna put it in the drive-in movie theaters, and like, like you said, the 12 other movie theaters that are actually open, you bring it home. I'll tell you, I, we were kind of the guinea pigs for the first wave of this with Trolls as parents, right? So parents were already losing their minds with their kids when that happened, when they released that, I think it was beginning of April. And every single parent's Instagram stories was fucking them and their kids watching Trolls. And they were just like, and they'd be like, I watched trolls five times today. It's like, yeah, because your parents just sat you down and just played it on loop. So trust me, people will buy Black Widow.

People will get into it. The $30 price tag, usually it's like two or three weeks or a month maybe. And then it comes out on Disney Plus. So then you're going to get the subscribers. I thought, I think I read Disney Plus is like already hit its five-year goal. I saw that this week. Yeah. That's some barstool shit.

Like that's when Nardini tweets out how like we hit our goals for like 2025 already. Yeah. Holy shit. So they're obviously crushing it with Disney Plus. And this is only going to help their cause once they get the MCU up. And I don't know how all the dominoes line up. And I imagine there are some dominoes where when they do, I know I saw WandaVision. There's still some scenes that need to be filmed,

but when you start getting those things wrapped up, you can't like, I think everything needs to get in motion so they can run the whole gamut. Cause I think everything's going to be tied up like they had in the old movies. And I think maybe even more so because they saw how much people appreciated where everything was tied together and end game. Give us Black Widow.

I mean, again, it's not like, listen, RIP in peace. But, like, her story has ended. So it's not like you're introducing this whole new character and whatever. You're going to bring it into the forefront. It's going to charge $30 a head. We're all going to pay it. And it's going to get MCU kind of back in everyone's, the forefront of their minds,

which brought something to the podcast that I had read online. Bob, you this one oh let's hear it there was a good this so this is our should i save this for the what ifs because this is a what no say it now fuck it free-flowing podcast free-flowing podcast this was a what if and someone said in the 2014 b so this is end game or and obviously end game thanos leaves he's gone because he comes to you know 2021 or whatever it was to fight the avengers for uh 2023 so that thanos in 2014 b so the b timeline thanos is gone he's no longer in that universe and he obviously dies. Correct. Does ego end up taking over the universe? Cause there is no way. There's no way for the guardians of the galaxy to stop it. Interesting.

This needs to be a fucking what if. That's a really good. What if what, yeah. What becomes of that universe with ego still? Yeah. He's still just fucking chilling as a planet at that point yep and at that point i don't know in um when they find nebula when they find nebula i

don't think um ronin is already going for the power stone at that point uh so i'm thinking does the you know obviously butterfly effect there's a million other things that can happen yeah but i think you still get star lord gets the power stone you get rocket and group catch him and they you know they probably meet each other i don't know if they get arrested on xandar gamora is no longer there so she never becomes part of the guardian yeah right because she's in the in in the current present day or you know fighting with iron man and everyone else um so it's honestly a great question. Does that, you know, Peter kind of gets on Ego's radar by getting caught by the Zandarians and they kind of like run the test on him and they see how he's half human and half something else. But at some point, does Peter

cross paths with Ego and then does Ego end up taking over the world? So Disney, Bobby Iger, again, I know you're listening. I want to see this in the what if. I want to see that. Yes, I'm in on that. And by the way, if you haven't yet listened to it, you can listen to Clem and I's commentary of Guardians of the Galaxy, which is on this feed right now. I thought it was a very fun one. That's a great what if, Clem.

Great, great addition to the pod there. Shout out to the guy on Reddit who thought of it, because that was amazing. And immediately I was like, oh, he'd be fine fine because they would never know that peter's his dad but the people at disney need to flesh that out completely and obviously at some point he does find out and the world is in peril again and the guardians of the galaxy save the day let's bring up some amazing things that happened to one of our favorite shows some nominations for emmys some that were pretty surprising for the mandalorian so it got, some that were pretty surprising for the Mandalorian.

So it got the ones that we expected, you know, the cinematography things, like the production design, the costumes, the VFX, the sound design, all of that, which we pretty much, I mean, if it's Star Wars, it's going to get those. It's at the top of the line. We know that. It got Outstanding Drama Series nomination, which, you know, I don't think it'll win because it's with Watchmen and Succession and all those shows. But just getting nominated, just getting mentioned in the same breath is pretty awesome. Outstanding voiceover performance.

Our guy Taika Waititi got a nom for his IG-11 performance, which I rewatched the last two episodes just the other day. He deserves it. The scene where they're in the tunnel and the Mandalorian is trying to convince him not to do it. And he's just, nope, I have been reprogrammed as a nurse droid. Like, this is what I have to do. Oh, fucking tremendous. And a guest actor nom for Giancarlo Esposito won Grand Moff Gideon for his very short appearance. But, hey, I'm not hating any nominations.

You know, I'm taking anything we can get. It got 15 total, so it kind of fucking cleaned up in its first season. And I think because it got a visual effects nom or the practical effects nom, we could technically say that Baby Yoda has been nominated for an Emmy. Give Baby Yoda the goddamn trophy is what it should be. Get Baby Yoda nominated for Best Supporting Actor, I guess? is what it should be get yoda nominated for best best supporting actor i guess yeah it should be yeah um yeah i'm very happy to see that like again the star wars we're getting a little bit momentum back into star wars because

obviously the movies it was it was a little it was from rough sliding for a while there i'm happy to see we got uh uh and i i just i just watched uh i caught up on better call saul i kind of took a couple seasons off after the baby was born and i i uh i just re-watched five four i just did a youtube thing i just fucking love um gus fring i can't i would say john carlo esposito yeah he's just so fucking good people now listen this is my personal opinion. I have people on the timeline telling me it was as good or better than Breaking Bad. I think that is crazy talk. I think Breaking Bad is like top three best show ever. I think the Better Call Saul has improved steadily.

However, anything with Gus Fring in it and obviously the fact he got nominated, I wonder if that's a little bit of like a – that does seem a little crazy that he, he got nominated off of what he did. I mean, he was great for what, what he was in the show. It just seems like a,

it was a guest category too. It was like, Oh, okay. That we're in like one episode. Okay. So I take it back. So that,

that's more than fair. That dude's fucking awesome. I thought you were going to tell me it was a supporting actor or something. Yeah. What was the name of the, the guy that that we despise little johnny what like the the guy who uh the bounty the the other bounty hunter oh oh oh toro calican that fucker that mother i thought you were gonna tell me that motherfucker got nominated bob i was about to go

no no no fuck that guy. Bobby corner Valley son. Now while we're in the star Wars universe, I have to ask, has there been any confirmation about that rumor? I blogged about last month about the Disney erasing the three star Wars sequel movies. No, that was a,

I, we couldn't believe that you blogged that me and Jeff DLO. We were like, Oh my God, Clem. That's, that's the most ridiculous Instagram rumor we've ever heard. I mean, the guy's name was Doomcock.

I mean, that was hilarious. He was dressed in a giant crazy mask and it's fucking quarantine content, man. I got nothing else going on. This is before sports had finally come back. So I was just getting everything I had. I'm telling you, this guy, apparently he predicted something else, the some of the director changes or something like that in the future I personally would be down for just a complete either prequel prequel and sequel remakes or just eliminate them from canon and we just stick with the original three I know that is a very very very drastic

measure to take and Disney will never do that because then they can't sell you know anything from the prequels anything from the sequels they have billions upon billions of dollars to sell to people once they're allowed to go back to disney world get in their kylo ren masks and their darth maul lightsabers and stuff like that but i'm just saying i wanted the doom cock rumor to be true apparently there's nothing else here so unfortunately no they will not be erasing anything from canon, especially not the sequel trilogy that they just spent billions upon billions of dollars on. But I have some stuff that I'd like to add to canon.

Let's get to the portion of the podcast, which is pretty much why I said I wanted to do the podcast. It was laying in bed the other night. I was hitting a 3G. I was just thinking, this has never existed in Star Wars, I don't think. I looked it up and it really hasn't. I said, all right, it might be a new life goal of mine to introduce this to the Star Wars canon in some way, shape, or form in a movie, a TV show, a comic book, whatever. Before we get into that, let me tell you guys about another sponsor, Cuts Clothing. I'm wearing a Cuts Clothing t-shirt

right now. It is just the most comfortable thing I've got. You can tell a shirt is good when you reach into your dresser draw with no glasses on, and you can feel the shirt that you want to wear. You feel it, and you go, oh, this is the shirt I want to put on today, getting my comfy pajamas and my comfy Cuts clothing. T-shirt is a menswear staple, right? But it's been long plagued by horrible

conditions they've got the shrinkage the bacon neck the color fade the parachute fit for me it's the the i can never fill out the sleeves you know i got those inner arms so the sleeves always look bizarre but look at me now clem don't these sleeves look great they're it's form fitting is it not i'm telling you this is the biggest thing i said some podfathers the other day the new oh he's flexing on me folks they can't even see you're flexing on me octagon bob just came out on the podcast unannounced um they're fucking the way the world's going everyone's gonna be uh even come september once everyone's back to work everyone's gonna still be on zoom calls you can't dress up in a suit like a hardo like you would in the office but you can't go around rocking some fucking ugly ass gross fucking like shirt

out of the like laundry right in the hamper you gotta have something that's like i don't know it's like it's like business casual t-shirt you know what i mean business business uh proper t-shirt and that's what that cuts is it's fucking it just looks good it's soft it makes you feel good it makes you look good and then you work good you. You play good. It's just plain too. It's nice. It matches with anything. They sent me a bunch of stuff. They've got gray stuff, black stuff.

They've got that cool, like olive green color that cool guys wear in Instagram ads and stuff. So listen, they've completely changed the game. They've got the fit fabric and function all going for it. It's the only shirt worth wearing. They've got custom engineered pika fabric that's spelled p-y-c-a that sounds like something out of star wars pika fancy pika pro fabric it could be described as buttery soft i would coast on that it is buttery soft they've got a bunch of different combinations too so you can kind of build your shirt crew neck v

neck henley they've got elongated cut slim uh hem cut the classic curve hem short sleeve collared shirts long sleeve whatever you want whatever color you want the pickup polo whatever whatever you think is best for your body they've got it i promise you that trust me i've got a weird shaped body and their stuff looks good on me that's why cuts are the only shirt worth wearing so you get 15 off your first order by going to cutsclothing.com slash basement. That's cutsclothing.com slash basement. That'll get you 15% off for the only shirt worth wearing. All right, Clem, are you ready for my pitch here?

Let's do it. I'm very excited for this. I'm sitting up, and I'm thinking the other night. I'm sitting up and I'm thinking the other night, I'm just hitting a three cheat. And I'm thinking of that scene in attack of the clones where Obi-Wan goes into the bar and he gets offered death sticks. And in the background you can see like star Wars football, like there's just robots playing football and there's a,

it just looks very real world put into star Wars. And I thought, has there ever been a rock and roll band in Star Wars? Has there ever been like a punk rock band? I know there's the band in Jabba's Castle. They're kind of a jazz band, like a big band. I know there's the band in the Cantina. Again, kind of like more jazzy with the flutes and stuff. That's recognizable for Star Wars fans as like, that's a rock and roll band.

Someone is playing the band. Someone is playing the drums. Someone's playing guitar. There's like a punk rock guy singing at the forefront. And I looked into it and I don't think there is. I think this has pretty much been long absent from Star Wars canon. So I put together in my mind, a band who uh what species they would be who they would be based off of as rock stars it would be led by a rhodian which is grito's species uh that looks like liam gallagher of oasis he's got that brit pop sasha barricco and ridiculous bangs haircut with the sideburns and whatnot the uh guitar player is going to be a dathomirian like darth maul right so he's got the tattoos all over him he plays without a shirt on so you could see all the tattoos

like dave navarro he's going to be kind of based off dave navarro the bass player is going to be a female uh based off darcy from the smashing pumpkins and she will be ahsoka's race which is tagrunta um i think that'll be a really cool you know people will be oh fucking smashing pumpkin stand girl bass player and then the drummer of course i mean we got to go with a classic here tommy lee and he is going to look like tommy lee from the 80s with tattoos skinny arms big fucking metal hair and he will be a i think it's it's chiss it might be cheese is the it's the species that grand admiral thrawn is so he looks like a human but he's just going to be blue basically um i thought you're going to say

tommy lee and i was like just tommy lee is just chilling in a galaxy far away and you know what i think no i wouldn't hate that either i wouldn't hate that either but basically i don't have a band name yet but i this is going to be my new life's goal is to introduce this band to the star wars universe and it could be something as simple as someone writes a comic book and this band is in the background of a bar you know they're just playing they don't need any dialogue or anything i just want them there so they're canonized into the universe i don't have a band name yet that's a work in progress i'll get that i'm gonna get some illustrations made of the band so i could sell it to some people be like hey you should put this in your comic and i'll have a whole backstory for them like gorillas you know that band the gorillas it's like they have the whole fictional backstory

i'll whip up the whole backstory for this band but this is my idea so i have other other ideas that we could pitch to each other there but what do you think about my idea to introduce a rock and roll band into the star wars universe hey the hell that would be hell of a thing for my obituary when i die one day knock on wood but like introduced rocket combined his two loves introduced star wars to rock and roll and rock and roll to star wars i mean i the fact there is no rock and roll any kind of punk or even like alternative like this fucking these this universe or i'm sorry this galaxy that all there is is war they've just been in nothing but war for years and i feel like that kind of like anguish and angst lends itself to more than just fucking

max rebo and the boys you know what i mean like we need that how is how is like and uh what's the uh what's the one at jabba's palace people are going to be like you should definitely know that band name but i'm not even sure wait no no they play this max max rebo is on the sail barge for sure yeah and he might be in the palace too but they played jedi rocks that's that's the name of the song they play jedi rocks might be the max rebo band no i'm thinking yeah max rebo band is the one that's that's the name of the song they play jedi rocks might be the max rebo band no i'm thinking yeah max rebo band is the one that's there i'm then the the cantina band that's that's what i meant i didn't know their thing but yeah either or that kind of genre of music that is not decades centuries of war and evil and eternal struggle between good and evil that lends itself to more of a grungy rocky kind of feel after a while so

there has to be something with that kind of genre instead of one two three four all that nonsense out there so um bob i think this is your call there's certain things in life that you know you just have to you have to go ahead and pursue and try to just make your mark on the world no matter what it is and this is kind of like you know and even even like if you ever get this done and whoever makes this comic have like the basis have a little lightsaber tattoo on there i don't hate that at all yeah that's a that's a good idea i think it's a hit i think the idea is a hit i'm gonna pursue it maybe have trig drop up a concept art so I can be like, all right, this is the fucking band. This is how badass they could be. I think it could work. Some other ideas that I've written down, two of which we've kind of talked about and pitched already. I don't think the other one we have. I'm just going to kind of rattle these off, and I'm going to put them out there in the universe. That's been my thing forever. I just put it out there in the universe, see what happens.

I've got two Star Wars ones and then an MCU one. Which one would you like to hear first? Star Wars. Let's stay in. We'll stay in Star Wars here. We'll stay in Star Wars. So I've got two movie pitches for you. One is going to be, I don't have titles for either. These are all working titles. One is going to be our don't have titles for either these are all working titles one is going to be our buddy cop rebel movie that we've talked about forever putting a comedy in the star wars universe just making it two stupid rebels and the other is going to be kind of a seven type detective drama okay again like two buddies though the seven one is going to be kind of thriller oriented kind of dark it's going to take place

on a planet that's like corellia a little darker and jankier though outer rim like wasn't even involved in the war at all and not corellia because we're going to expand the universe star wars when you steal this idea yeah not corellia this is going to be a planet that nobody's ever heard of before that like literally you know what yes corellia. This is going to be a planet that nobody's ever heard of before that like literally – You know what? Yes, Corellia, because we're going to wipe Solo from the records as well. I don't care. Bob, all right, Bob, at least give me that much.

Wipe Solo from Canon. Oh, yeah. Wipe Solo from Canon. Yes. Yeah, I'll wipe him. All right, my goal for this podcast was to get one of the Star Wars movies wiped from Canon. I didn't care which one. It could have been Empire.

I just wanted to get you to wipe one. Okay, so maybe Corellia, maybe not. I going all right no not corellia fuck corellia wiped from canon um and this movie takes place five years prior to the force awakens so it's been pretty peaceful time for at least a while like for the grand scheme of war there hasn't been this massive galactic war and presumably the people on this planet that are 20 30 years old don't even really know much about the war they kind of look at it like ray did they're like oh the legends we've heard about that but then all of a sudden people start winding up dead on this planet murdered on this planet

and they bring in the space detectives they look at the wounds and they're like no way that can't be there's never been one of those on this planet. Those are lightsaber wounds. Someone's killing someone with a lightsaber. We've never seen a lightsaber. So now we're like, Oh my God, there's the fucking lightsaber killer on the loose. The whole movie is a chase like seven where they're like, this guy's a psychopath. He's leaving the detectives clues and shit. And then there's a B plot where like a group of kids, like the Goonies come in and they find the lightsaber at one point.

And like one of the kids is kind of like me. And knows a lot about the lightsaber he knows a lot about the war so he helps the detectives out i don't have an ending to it but that's how the movie starts and i think it's a good pitch i i like that and i'm already i see a scene maybe in the beginning or kind of as things start to unwind a little bit like probably 30 through we have the rock band yes they could be on that planet it's a grungy planet so they could absolutely be there yes and i already had like you know how uh you got to put something easter eggy in there for the real hardcore fans that are really going to be like oh you appreciate star wars you get it we're going to bring in an old jed Jedi to look at the lightsaber and give

us some information on it and that old Jedi is gonna be another none other than uh Grand Lord Tekka or Lor San Tekka I believe his name is he's the guy from the beginning of The Force Awakens that says this will begin to make things right and then Kylo Ren just kills him so it's like a guy that nobody even cares about but we bring him in to give him like a little bit of a backstory so the other day i caught the darth i turned on tbs or tnt whatever they're just playing i that's like the most under underreported like tweeted or reported thing this entire quarantine i don't know we're even quarantined this is the world we live in now whatever is they just play star wars non-stop on like tnt and it's incredible and then you the other day you said like infinity war you know thor just would just turn into us

dunking on captain america's because that's what it always happens it just becomes like its own civil war but anyway i caught the end of darth vader uh in um rogue one i literally caught the scene as it flipped to it i was like holy shit it was like god smiled upon me which went right into the force awakens and i saw that guy what's his name again it's laur santeka i think and i'm like this fucking guy i thought he was gonna i thought he was gonna be involved big time with it obviously when you first see him then you realize he's gone and i'm like that was just the end of him i feel like there's more to be told bob you gotta fucking go and i'm in on this idea right now i love it i love it all right let's flip to let's flip to spider verse because this is an idea that i've said before and it's kind of a stupider one that i don't have as much written down about and then

we'll flip back to the rebel buddy cop idea movie so this is my spider verse movie which i've pitched before on this pod and you know every every spider versus different, every spider versus different Spider-Man in my spider verse, my MJ, my Mary Jane is not a human. It's actual Mary Jane. It's weed. It's just, I sit around,

I smoke weed all day and Spider-Man is actually just me. And I've written down that maybe you could be my kingpin in this universe because you kind of, you're the bald guy, right? So you got, you wear, you wear the suit,

you're the kingpin.ave might be my doctor octopus because it's like spider-man works for that guy in some stories you know he he like that's the his boss and he's also super rich and shit and maybe dana white is my norman osborne he owns this big company right oscorp he's kind of like i think he's my friend at first i don't really know he's like uncle dana uncle norman yeah he's we're pals but if people could tweet me other connections of like who would be who in this spider verse it's the my mom's basement spider verse kind of neat huh i mean if we could build this thing up it's like the old animations of you as the thanos or you as mysterio like you as kingpin

i thought you're gonna say i was gonna be your net at first i'll take kingpin though because my daughter my daughter we were playing um one of the marvel video games and she goes daddy that's like you the kingpin i was like god damn it um but no i i think you're you're out of some here the three chi was kicking when you came up with this one. Oh, the three Chi was, I mean, all these ideas is just three Chi fuel. You connected the dots with, uh, with uncle Dana. I actually, I hate to even throw this into the universe, but I honestly did things the other day. I, I am so I'm going to be so sad and I'm going to say not, not 10, maybe not five years,

10 years, 20 years, the inevitable divorce between you and Uncle Dana. It's going to be like. People have said that. Yeah, it's going to be tough because the bond is only going to get stronger for the next 10, 5, 10 years or whatever. But the inevitable Dirk Diggler and what's Jack, Jackie, what's his name? Oh, you never saw Boogie Nights. We still got to let you watch it. Jack, the inevitable divorce that's going to happen between you guys,

it's going to be an ugly breakup, and it's going to break my heart into a million pieces because it's one of my favorite, like, friendships that I've ever seen evolve on the internet, let alone Twitter. Let's fingers crossed that it doesn't break this week because I will be with him this week, by the way. Those that don't know, on Wednesday morning,

I'll be flying out to Las Vegas, getting COVID tested and all that and dana white is going to give me a tour of the whole facility that they've been running the fights out of uh that empty ufc apex center and i'll be at the fights on saturday so if you're listening to this this week this saturday neo chick versus cormier it's the trilogy gonna be an awesome ufc fight shauna malley's on the co-main event check it out i'll be there you might see me and my like computer on the co-main event. Check it out. I'll be there. You might see me and my computer in the background of the event with my Buddha Ben stickers on there. Flicking that hair.

Flicking the hair left and right as you're trying to type. Is that arena or whatever they have it, is that bigger than his office or smaller than his office? Because honestly, it's like 50-50 chance. Yeah, honestly, I'll have to see when I get there in person because it's probably pretty fucking close um and the third idea i have so me and clem have talked about this forever we say treat star wars like it's just like a separate thing and make a comedy movie that's just a star wars comedy and it's not it doesn't have to be this big thing that affects canon in the most crazy way it could just be a funny movie that takes

place in the star wars universe so i think about this all the time it's one of my things that i i think it would be the greatest thing ever so eventually this week i thought of what the plot thread could kind of be and it would be the inverse of rogue one in that rogue one is this story about an unknown group of rebels that did something amazing to set up for the rebels winning a great battle being the battle of yavin and a new hope our movie can be a group of unknown rebels just the two of us you know it's because we star in it it's you and me and we fuck something up and have to re and we have to uh fix it before a battle happens i was thinking maybe the battle of hall we might be the rebels that give away the location somehow i don't know if that's already

canonized like how the empire gets it but some way in which like maybe we're the idiots who and i was thinking we do it through something stupid like we get mad at each other and one of us leaves our galactic transmitter on and we leave like a voicemail to the empire basically sitting like well i don't want to be here on fucking hoff anymore we've been hiding out for you know it's something stupid like that and then they come down but we eventually uh re-become friends and our our friendship saves the day in the end you know it's like yes it's something that came so close to catastrophically uh losing the war for the rebels that nobody even knew about because we fucked it up we kept it in house and we fixed it before anyone found out that's the whole concept

of the movie okay now hear me out on this one okay i have an idea because i'm trying to think of something where if we went outside of the original trilogy here because if you don't say good yeah because i'm trying to think like how did that is is the when they blasted the drone is that when they like alerted that it was i think well i guess they also and the pictures they took of like obviously the shield generator and shit like that i'm trying to think at first so the sequels i don't know it could even be it could even be like this takes place in between episode four and five like there was a great rebel victory that like we almost fucked up my idea i went back to the prequels now i don't remember much of the prequels even though we just watched them because they're very forgettable and very much just like

a lot of just drawn out shit we're gonna get dark here though what if we're responsible for order 66 now that gets pretty dark but like or we could have stopped order 66 or we're the ones who gave the emperor the idea for order 66 something where by the end it's just us and like just a thousand dead jedi and we're like did we just fucking do that i don't hate the idea of us like putting that idea in his brain somehow. I mean, like imagine your fucking dead thing where it was just like, well, I want to kill all the Jedi fucking put in, I don't know, put in a code where you put in the right. It's like a nuclear key. You turn it. And then all of a sudden all us clones are just going to fucking,

it's like, we got a chip in our brains. This fucking guy here, he'll do anything I say. Like, I can be like, Hey, kill all the Jedi hey this this this fucking guy here he'll do anything i say like i could be like hey kill all the jedi he'll just do it i'll be like hey order 66 he's like oh you just seem like writing it down or so i i that that gets to a dark side of comedy though especially when you remember what happens to the young ones and shit like that yeah that might be better for like a like an adult swim 15 minutes. Like a whole movie where it's just the ending. It's just us standing around dead bodies being like, we did this. Like the dead younglings in the Jedi Temple.

Like this was our fault. That might be a little dark. But if you want to do a short film, I'm all for it. Yeah, I think we can do a short film. And it's like we have like a catchphrase that we, oh, it's like I have like a uh you know a catchphrase that we oh can't like it's like i had a i have a bad feeling about this it's like i told you i had a bad feeling about this you do the old shoulder you know yeah yeah yeah they just the fucking goes black the screen goes black at the end um i like that bob the three chi
